'La Charronaise' is a luxury, four bedroomed detatched house, in a quiet location in the village of Charron. Just 15 minutes north of La Rochelle and its airport. Charron is situated on Charente Maritimes 'cote sauvage' and is famous in the area for its mussels. Surprisingly, this small village has a lot to offer. Within walking distance of the house is the village bakery, a grocers, butchers, bar, post office, bank, pharmacy and retaurant. You can buy fresh mussels, oysters and honey, all produced in the village. Charron was the first stop on chef Rick Steins' televised culinary tour of France, where he made an 'eclade' using the local moules du bouchot.
